What it's like
The last time we were in the area we had one of our all time favorite
breakfast's at the Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant. There are two restaurants
on the same property, the Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant and the Applewood
Farmhouse Grill. This time we took the kids for the first big country
breakfast of our trip and wanted to repeat the fabulous breakfast we remembered.
When we go there we could not remember which of the two we ate at on our
previous trip, so we ate at the Applewood Farmhouse Grill .
All breakfasts come with Applewood Juleps, Apple Fritters and Homemade
Apple Butter. Their juleps are made from several juices including pineapple,
apple and orange. Their apple fritters and apple butter are some of the
tastiest southern treats you can get. It is worth it to come to one of
the Applewood restaurants just for these. People come here and buy bags
full of them for takeout.
The kids ordered the silver dollar pancakes which comes with fresh butter
and bacon off of the children's menu for $3.25. We ordered the buttermilk
pancakes which were topped with strawberries and whipped cream and a Toad
in the Hole with Canadian Bacon for $5.95 each. Their Toad in the Hole
is two slices of homemade bread, each with the center cut out, and grilled
each slice with an egg in the hole. I fell in love with it at the Applewood
Farmhouse Restaurant, but was deeply disappointed at the Applewood Farmhouse
Grill. The bread tasted stale. Everyone else loved the pancakes however.
They seem to get you in and out pretty quickly. We tried to change one
of our orders within two minutes after the waitress took it and she said
it was too late. The food was at our table in about five minutes and we
weren't even finished munching on the apple fritters yet. This is not
necessarily a bad thing, but when the restaurant is not busy I like more
or the European approach of taking my time at my meals.
